Upwards Basketball Season Begins!



Andrew's team is made up of first and second graders. Unfortunately, none of his friends from church are on his team, but it will be a good opportunity for him to meet some new kids. He is coached by our family pastor's wife and son, for which I was very glad (they are a special family). Andrew is so much fun to watch on the court. He is not very aggressive. However, he did make one rebound that he immediately returned for one basket. Way to go Andrew!!!




Wesley's team has just 6 members, so he is able to play most all of the game. He was great on defense and in making baskets. Dad is his assistant coach, so I get to be the photographer and watch the kids. They had a super game, and every single player demonstrated great sportsmanship and great effort!

Bryant is going to be so excited to see these pictures. I just posted some pictures and videos from Bryant's game on Saturday. Do your boys play on co-ed teams? Bryant's team is only boys - I think he likes it that way :)

I like THIS kind of sports - the kind that teaches something and helps develop skills and character. Upwards is very big here, too.

We love Upwards Basketball! This is our third year being involved in it. Yes, the teams are co-ed. I was sitting by a parent of one of the girls on Wesley's team, and she said "Why don't the boys ever pass to Marissa?" I guess they all have a little "Bryant" in them :)

Great pictures! We've done T-ball, softball, soccer but we haven't ventured into basketball yet. Looks like fun!

Thanks for the pictures. I just love seeing what the "great" neices and newphews are doing.
